SPCA not seeking to extend New Zealand greyhound racing ban to horse racing

The SPCA has clarified that while it's pushing for the continuation of the ban on greyhound racing, it's not looking to extend similar measures to thoroughbred and harness racing. This distinction is important as it highlights the organization's targeted approach in addressing animal welfare issues, focusing on the specific conditions and practices in greyhound racing that raise concerns. By maintaining its stance on horse racing, the SPCA aims to avoid broader implications for the sport, which has its own regulatory frameworks and welfare standards. This move suggests a nuanced strategy in tackling animal cruelty, emphasizing targeted reforms over blanket bans.
